I want to give this game a good review, I really do. It has a lot of potential for what it's worth, but... let me point out some key things you should know.

First of all, this is an RTS game, but it doesn't have the essentials most RTS games share. It falls flat in a lot of aspects that make a good RTS game. There's no upgrades whatsoever for units or structures, you place them down and that's it. You do have to place certain buildings to unlock other units or buildings, but you can't make your troops stronger, more agile, have more abilities, or anything more in depth than that. And with a limited roster of units and buildings, the game really suffers from this aspect.

Secondly, if you're expecting a long game, then look elsewhere, this game is really short. I only played about half the missions in, but a lot of them can easily be completed in 5-10 minutes, which is fine for some people that want to just hop in and play quickly, but for me, I like to take my time and strategise a plan, then attack, whereas in this game, you have the enemy raiding your base with a sizable army in the first 5-10 minutes. Same with the skirmish mode, you start up and on even easy mode, you are met with the enemy's forces within a few short minutes, before you have time to build up a large army of your own. Now I'm not saying that the game is broken, as in, the enemy shows up when you can't build that quick, you can build that quick, and actually have to build that quick or else you're screwed. I personally like longer games that can take upwards of hours sometimes, but this game forces you to build quick and early and end the game every time in under 15 minutes.

On top of all this, the game doesn't run very well. Now I'm not claiming to have any sort of super computer or anything like that, but even a game this small that looks as blocky as this should not run bad at all. It's fine for the inital stages, but I tried to break the formula of the quick gameplay and build up a large army to go raid each of the enemies one by one, but the game really starts to not like it when you get something like 50+ units on screen. It can drop frames, have weird shadow glitches, and I even had a time where it deselected half my units when I scrolled the map too fast.

Another few minor gripes as well. Naturally, there are faster units than others in the game, but when they all travel in a pack, the faster units just zoom on ahead and leave my heavy untis without any frontward protection. In other RTS games, if you have a group sent out, they all sync up and move together, even in formation too, but here, you have your fast, machinegun mounted trucks zipping well ahead of your tanks at the back, and infantry somewhere in between in the very strategic "line" formation... Also, the battery power your base runs on seems somewhat pointless to me as well. If you go over the battery limit, the only thing that seems to shut down is the turrets, my vehicle depots, and rescource collestiors all still worked completely fine, so maybe it's just me, but I think it's kind of useless. And one final thing... you cannot build more than one home HQ. In typical RTS games, you can discover new areas of the map and maybe find defensible locations to settle a secondary, or even tertiary base, but in this game, you are only allowed ONE HQ at any given time, if it blows up, you can build another one, so long as you still have a rescource plant and/or units to survive on, but really? Only one..? It's not like it matters anyway though, cause by the time you send out units to scout a location for a base, you'll be hounded by notifications that your home base is under attack within minutes.

It is a decent little game if you're looking for a couple hours of enjoyment, and maybe you're into the faster paced, simple gameplay, but without further updates that add more things to do, and potentially even increase battle time, I personally cannot recommend this product.

Absolutely great this is. Some of their best songs from The Dethalbum, shame they only got three of them in here, but they are three of my favourites. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a challenge, the lead parts are excellent and the rhythm parts hold their own damn well.

10/10 For sure

Butt Stallion.

This is one of my all time favorite games. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in RPGs and/or shooters.
